Things You'll Need

• Honey
• Ground cinnamon
• Hot water

Instructions

1. Add 1 teaspoon of honey and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to 1 cup water.

2. Boil the mixture then strain. Divide the liquid into 2 equal servings.

3. Drink 1 portion upon rising in the morning before breakfast. Drink the other portion in the evening before bed. Supposedly, this concoction of ground cinnamon and honey stops the body from storing fat.

4. If you have seasonal allergies, the using local honey in this recipe can aid in alleviating allergy symptoms, too. Honey contains pollen from the plants and flowers the bees use to make honey. If you ingest the honey made by bees in your local area, the honey may act as an immune booster, and reduce your allergies to the local flowers and plants.

5. For the best tasting and most potent cinnamon, purchase ground cinnamon from a store like Whole Foods or the Fresh Market. Vietnamese cinnamon is the best. Once you have tasted fresh ground cinnamon, the stuff in the jars at the grocery store will taste like cardboard. There is a huge difference in using fresh ground spices. (If you cannot find Vietnamese cinnamon locally, check the resources section below.)
